WotC Why WotC SHOULD Make A New Setting

[Reynard]

So apparently I need to spell out the joke.

Ravnica isn't the urban fantasy genre. Just because it is fantasy and has an urban environment, doesn't make it the urban fantasy genre, any more than the presence of death knights makes Dragonlance Gothic horror despite some tragic and spooky elements.

I realize sarcasm is the lowest form of whit, but I was only attempting to draw comparison between people saying Pholtus or Planescape qualifies as urban fantasy by saying that by that metric, Krynn is a horror setting.

Are we clear now?

I for one was enjoying the bit.

Like...why isnt Wizards doing something like this? When was the last time Wizards even tried? MtG makes settings all the time, 3PP does it all the time.

Why do people just accept Wizards coasting on past glory when it comes to D&D?

I don't think that idea needs 800 pages, but yeah, at least it's enthusiastically doing something new.

Yeah, thats the thing that kind of kills it for me. I just dont need all that text in my life anymore but it sure hits the right note.

My wife would likely be way more into it, from a visual/tonal perspective, than Shadowdark and my beloved grimdarkness...

I could go into it more, but I'll probably just buy it and stick it on a shelf to flip through later.
